#5003 Large Rustic Pottery piggy bank with distressed finish and rope tail 10” x 7”

No chips or cracks Original stopper Piggy banks, traditionally shaped like pigs, have a long history dating back to medieval times. The association with pigs likely stems from the Old English word 'pygg,' which referred to a type of earthenware used to make money boxes. Over time, the word evolved, and the shape of the animal became a popular motif for these savings containers. This particular piggy bank features a rustic, distressed wooden design with a whitewashed finish and brown splotches, evoking a farmhouse or folk art aesthetic. The addition of a rope tail further enhances its decorative appeal. Such items are commonly found as decorative collectibles and functional piggy banks, often handmade or designed to appear so.
